--- Chapter 319 ---

Kuina never ceases to surprise Huo Yuhao. 

A Tachi, huh?

Even though Tachi is just a slightly longer and curvier Katana, the truth is more than that. The blacksmithing technique required to make one is also vastly different. 

It is definitely a challenge for Kuina. 

However, seeing Kuina's determined expression makes Huo Yuhao sigh inside and believe in her ability. She has reached the 300th layer of the Burning Sky Hammer Technique.

They will leave this Stasis Timeline soon, anyway. 

"Do your best." Huo Yuhao smiled while patting Kuina's head. 

Kuina enjoyed the pats, 'I will definitely reach Saint-level this time!'

With that in mind, Kuina rested for an hour before returning to her forge and laid down many materials, including the refined and tempered iron she had made earlier.

She rubbed her palms together and summoned a deep purple flame with a coppery-red core. It was the wisp of Nebula Thunderfire Huo Yuhao gifted on her 17th birthday.

For one year straight, keeping control over this wisp is more challenging than raising her proficiency in Burning Sky Hammer Technique. 

Even then, she successfully tamed 0.5% of it. 

Don't look down on a mere 0.5% of Nebula Thunderfire's wisp because it could burn the sky and dry the sea. 

Water bubbles appeared, which was the result of Kuina using Kun-Peng's concepts in her works. She used the Mythical Beast's power to help her control the Nebula Thunderfire's wisp. 

Clank! Clank!

Kuina started hammering her planned materials, heating them with purple flame and cooling them with water bubbles. Clear Sky Fairy assisted her, adjusting the five-meter area around her with the perfect atmosphere. 

As the materials combined into an alloy, Kuina's eyes lit up.

ZZT!

Faint electricity echoes in the workshop.

"Heavenly Tribulation..." Huo Yuhao looked up and faintly smiled because dark thunderclouds appeared in the sky. He was familiar with this event because he had done it over a million times in the past eight years.

"She is going to be a Saint-level Blacksmith." 

"However, this is not enough." 

Kuina's hand trembled because fusing the materials alone consumed too much stamina and spirit energy. Even with the support of Clear Sky Fairy, the energy consumption exceeded her expectations. 

Kuina was puzzled. 

Eight years ago, Kuina witnessed how energetic her grandpa was making Shin-Tsubame, and each of his movements filled with endless vigor. Even when he aged visibly, he still hammered the hot iron like he was young.

'Don't tell me females are weaker, after all.' Kuina's resolve shook for a moment. 

Then, Huo Yuhao's stern voice stunned her. 

"Keep your hand on the hammer and hit the hot steel..." 

"If your resolve is this weak, you don't deserve to be my disciple." 

"Show me what Shimotsuki Kuina can do!" 

Kuina's body suddenly moved on its own. The hammer in her hand moved down and struck the hot alloy.

That's right. 

She doesn't have to be confused. 

Male? Female? That doesn't matter.

All Kuina needs to know is that she was Huo Yuhao's disciple.

'Yes, I want to make my Master proud!' Kuina's spirit is burning brightly. 

Unknown to Kuina, the seal on Nebula Thunderfire's wisp loosened slightly more, increasing her control to 0.8% now. 

Six black and one red spirit rings appeared around the Clear Sky Fairy, causing it to grow into a more adult version of Kuina. Appearance aside, the Clear Sky Fairy also gained a halo, and her hammer became bigger, rivaling a war hammer.

"Self-Created Spirit Skill, Thousand Shadowy Skies!" Clear Sky Fairy's first to sixth spirit rings merged into one, becoming a red spirit ring.

With two red spirit rings, Kuina looks like a blazing fairy queen with two divine halos. 

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows because he didn't expect Kuina to learn to merge her spirit rings independently. However, this success is 'truthfully' attributed to her spirit rings from a similar origin. 

Nine Weather Change Peacock is a rare spirit beast in Douluo Dalu. It was one rare species that only lived with one surviving member over the past 10,000 years, having the ability to manipulate weather and atmosphere.

The system described the Nine Weather Change Peacock with nine beautiful plumes, each containing its Weather Changes' power.

It was a lucky catch, to be honest. 

After killing Nine Weather Change Peacock, Advalon copied the genetic codes and origins, allowing more to appear and harvest. 

Even then, the chance of this spirit beast appearing is low. 

Coincidentally, Huo Yuhao got twelve runes with Nine Weather Change Peacock's spirit rings, enough for Kuina to reach 1st Class God. 

Kuina didn't realize her transformation and was 'completely' absorbed in making her third weapon. 

Swoosh! 

A thunderstorm descends to the mountain peak. 

Dragon-like lightning swam in the thunderclouds, eyeing the workshop. 

"Here it comes." Huo Yuhao was about to lift a finger when a purple silhouette broke the thunderstorm. 

His eyes widened in disbelief.

'Raikou!' 

At this moment, Raikou has awakened from her sleep and is 'thoroughly' surrounded by pure electricity. Her eyes are pure white, making her look like a Thunder Fury Berserker. 

RRRAAAAAAAAA!!

Raikou let out a battle cry. 

Her body becomes more pronounced, having beastly traits and divine traits.

"Thunder God Manifestation." Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself. 

Raikou's hands transformed into sharp claws as she punched into the thunderstorm. 

She punched and punched, turning her hands into burnt crisp.

But she doesn't look like she was cared for by these mere injuries.

Mad Enhancement enhances Raikou's pain, which makes her stronger by getting damaged. At the same time, Huo Yuhao felt her origin core as Ushi of the Underworld evolved. 

This evolution also involves her legend and bloodline. 

As a matter of fact, Raikou was a God's Child. She's the daughter of Indra, the God of Rain and Lightning.

Not Indra from Draconic Deus, obviously. 

But Indra from the Type-Moon Universe. 

Since God's blood flowed in Raikou's veins, she was bound to be extraordinary. 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Raikou clashed with the thunderstorm, and divine light started breaking off her body. 

At first, Huo Yuhao thought Raikou would develop the same divinity as Liu Mei as a fellow lightning wielder. But he was wrong.

Before Raikou fully evolved, her divinity changed, or should Huo Yuhao say, become one with her affinity.

As the thunderstorm and thunderclouds cleared, Kuina also finished her third weapon.

Clank!

Kuina dropped to the ground, but Huo Yuhao quickly caught her. 

He stared at the blade on the anvil and smiled, "Congratulations, you have reached Saint-level Blacksmith." 

A beautiful tachi lies on the anvil. It has a blue-silver blade and jet-black handle, like twilight in the azure sky. 

"Hehe, did I make you proud, Master?" Kuina giggled weakly. 

She consumed too much energy, sacrificing her spirit and blood. 

"You reckless disciple." Huo Yuhao poked her little nose. 

"Yes, I'm proud of you." 

"Now rest." 

Kuina stared at her proud creation and said, "I must name the Tachi first."

"Hmm, I will call you..." 

"Rain Gouger." 

The blade seemingly gained life after Kuina named it, glowing with faint blueness. 

After that, Kuina fainted in Huo Yuhao's arms.

Huo Yuhao shook his head bitterly, 'This disciple is stubborn like her grandfather.' 

'It's in the blood, I guess.' 

He stared at Rain Gouger and waved his hand, searching for a sheath for it in the Azure Emperor Vault. It was funny because Kozaburo made him a sheath, and now he wanted to give Kuina one. 

It comes full circle.

"This one will do." 

A dark blue sheath fell from a blue portal and encased Rain Gouger, giving it a comfortable rest. Kuina didn't know that her teacher had just given her a divine artifact. 

...

Huo Yuhao carried Kuina and Rain Gouger. He brought his disciple to her room and let her hug Tachi in her dream. 

After that, Huo Yuhao walked out of the hut. 

He stared at the lone figure on the edge of a mountain peak, gazing at the evening sky. 

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened again. But it's not because of Raikou's new ascension to godhood. Her appearance has changed drastically.

A white-haired beauty with a voluptuous body stood silently atop a snowy mountain. 

"Raikou." Huo Yuhao called her.

Raikou turned around and saw Huo Yuhao. Her sad, beautiful face changed into that of pure joy. 

"Honey~!" She pounced on Huo Yuhao, hugging him tightly.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and hugged Raikou back, giving her the warmth she had longed for years. Their lips met each other, warming this atmosphere even more.
